Today’s charts are seemingly dominated by run of the mill pop, be it manufactured by X Factor (and the like) or not. I’m not complaining- One Direction’s What Makes You Beautiful is a guilty pleasure of mine. Even so, it’s a refreshing change to welcome a group that effortlessly combine elements of modern pop with the harmonies of classic vocal groups. Having already achieved a number four hit UK album with debut Good Ol’ Fashioned Love, latest single Say What I Feel cements their position as one of the best groups around.
Mixing lyrics of your traditional love song with smooth harmonies and an upbeat melody, not forgetting a small key change, Say What I Feel is an undoubted pop nugget. Staying firmly on the right side of High School Musical-territory, the track is strangely but wonderfully addictive (warning: it will probably be in your head for weeks).
Move over One Direction, The Overtones are set to steal the hearts of girls everywhere.
4/5
